>> It could be gaps from the house settling too. We find them dead in our upstairs all the time. They get into the attic and then i to our AC ducts which aren't sealed well. They end up getting shot out when the AC runs. They have no stingers and are either dead or wounded when i find them so i havnt done anything about it.
@allymansfield:
I would be doing something about the duct system. If they are getting in your treated air is getting out. Costs you some $$.
@ET: Not really. The heat loss is minimum as compared to the cost to reduct the system. We have done the cost analysis, my husband is a marine engineer.  AC companies want you to think you are loosing so much money on small leaks in a system when in reality you are not. It is easy big money work for them, so they push it. My girlfriends husband works for an HVAC company and he said they make almost 100% profit on those types of unnecessary fixes, that and insulating an attic (beyond the minimum that is already there) is really not worth it when you do the breakdown. Might go up in the winter though with some aluminum tape and see if I can't seal it off just to keep the bugs out. Probably should look for the entrance hole for those wasps too, but not until it is cooler!
